help on my hornet

[Dacca]

hey, trying to open up my hornet to do a cvf and having some problems. there is an ornenge ring at the end of the pump and the nozzle camp wont seem to come off. i'll include a pic or two as soon as i can, but any help would be awsome. thanks :bmhelix:

You're doing a CVF on a Hornet? That seems a little odd to me. At any rate, nozzle caps that are tough to remove are a common problem on a lot of soakers. Not 100% about the Hornet, but based on the pic, I'm not sure it's a wise thing to try to pop that part off. It's probably partly glued and I'm not sure what other parts of the internals may be glue along with it (since the cap part occupies a good portion of the front). As well, doing a CVF on a pressurized-reservoir soaker, from what I recall others saying, doesn't really improve things much. I'd be more inclined to recommend saving your modding energies for a more worthy soaker.

If you insist on trying to remove it, you'll likely have to do a lot of careful prying with a screwdriver and eventually some plastic breaking to get it off (judging from pics from the BuzzBeeToys website).

thanks, i was hopeing that by doing a cvf it would add more pressure to the reservoir so that i could bore out the nozzle a bit. anyways i like my hornet, i think it makes a nice side arm and havnt had that many problems with the belt clip. it held up ok when i used it for a 1hk in the woods.
